Sounds like the rallies should be for justice for Mariisa Alexander, not Trayvon Martin.
The Tampa Bay Times found that defendants claiming “stand your ground” are more successful if the victim is black. Seventy-three percent of those who killed a black person faced no penalty. Only 59 percent of those who killed a white person got off. <<
Self defense as an affirmative defense to homicide is one of those misunderstood legal terms. It literally means the defendant is claiming to be the victim of a crime. The deceased is never charged...LOL...if the claim is successful, that is where the law should go next. The victim in successfully argued SYG cases is still alive.
I like the idea of it’s either Stand Your Ground or Retreat From Evil...which law would be backed?
